Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes that momentous shifts are occurring in the world's political, social, economic, and cultural institutions. The author presents numerous examples of change that are said to be a result of significant progress in the realm of human thought. These changes are seen as a rejection of absolutism in favor of self-governance, and as a shift away from a belief in external authority toward a belief in the inherent potential and wisdom of humanity. The author presents evidence that religion is not exempt from this change, citing widespread feelings that religious institutions and their leaders are out of touch with the current concerns of the people. The author suggests that the church has options of either ignoring these changes or acknowledging and responding to them with humility and sincerity. This book will appeal to readers interested in the relationship between societal and religious change throughout history.
